Here is the deal and I need some insight from you guys.
How long can beer sit in a glass carboy at room temp - 72ish.
Over the past couple of months I have been gathering addition carboys both primary and seconds. 6 primarys and 8 seconds and 6 cornys.
I am trying to keep my production line going so that I do not wind up with an empty keg. Well.. it has not been an issue when I was doing 5gal batches and beer was not sitting around ... then I started doing 10gal batches and now I am up to 60 gallons ... and my cornys are full... and I have beer justs sitting around... the issue is I am going to have a crawfish boil and one other party.. and 30 - 40 of those are going to be gone quick... so I am trying to "save" up and keep things in the the pipeline so to speak... so that I can quickly replace my empty cornys.
I have a fellow brew friend and he things letting beer sit in the secondary for say 4 weeks... not in the fridge... and he thinks that my beer is going to develop off flavors and not taste fresh.
Thoughts? You see my objective...
I wish I had something like Ed Wort has... where I could move them striaght to corny and carb them and keep them cool. but that is not the set up I have..
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks.
